    Beautiful scenery and a delightful atmosphere! The staff were incredibly welcoming and delivered exceptional service with seamless teamwork. I especially appreciated their ability to strike the perfect balance between allowing me to enjoy my meal undisturbed and attending to me promptly whenever I needed assistance. A special mention goes to Rashid, who was both personable and professional, making the experience even more enjoyable. The three-course meal was delicious, with each dish perfectly prepared. The ambience was just right—relaxing and inviting, complemented by the stunning views. I absolutely love this place and can't wait to visit again.

    Thoroughly enjoyed Sunday Lunch at 20 Stories. Very friendly welcoming team. Food service was a great pace for me with time between courses (not too long, not rushed, just right) The afternoon was leisurely, we didn't feel any pressure to hurry along. The food was excellent

    I recently visited Twenty Stories expecting a refined, bougie dining experience, but was quite disappointed. The atmosphere was unexpectedly loud, with even drunk patrons adding to the noise, which didn’t match the high-end vibe I anticipated. Despite the expensive prices, the portions were tiny, and overall, the experience wasn’t worth the hype. The only good thing was the views of the city.

    Very good meal and service. Although noisy in the bar area, it was fine in the restaurant. I was disappointed they wanted a significant service charge to bring our own birthday cake

    Excellent afternoon tea experience! Firstly I’d phoned the restaurant the day before our arrival to see if they could tweak the sandwich fillings for my young daughter & sure enough when we received the afternoon tea the chef had accommodated our request & I had a very happy child! Secondly the staff were very friendly & attentive & lovely ambience in the restaurant, it got busier as time went on but without feeling noisy or crowded. Lastly the actual afternoon tea was fantastic, enough selection of lovely savoury treats as well as sweet & all great quality - we left feeling very content! 5 star & would highly recommend! Thanks 20 Stories - we will be back :-)

    Overall ambience/atmosphere was lovely. Restaurant decor was lovely and a beautiful place to celebrate a birthday. The table decor and food presentation felt quite basic for the price we paid (we ordered steaks & an assortment of sides (lobster, mushroons, fries ~ the steak arrived served on a white plate no garnish ~ nothing). Service was good overall and we received a complimentary birthday brownie on a decorated plate which was a nice touch. We felt a little rushed towards the end of our meal as the waiter said they needed the table back in 15 mins. We had another drink in the bar which was nice and a stroll around the outdoor terrace which was lovely.
